Noblis was originally known as Mitretek Systems. In 1996, Mitretek Systems was formed as a nonprofit corporation for the purpose of undertaking research in science and technology as a spin-off from the [[MITRE Corporation]].<ref name="split">{{cite news |last=Day |first=Kathleen |date=1996-02-23 |title=The Think Tank That Went Out for a Spin; Mitre Splits in Two to Answer Concerns That It Has an Unfair Edge in Government Work |newspaper=The Washington Post |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1996/02/23/the-think-tank-that-went-out-for-a-spin/b117b3f3-a72b-44cc-9002-fb118d2aadcf/ |access-date=23 June 2022}}</ref>
Between 1996 and 2006, Mitretek Systems focused on national security threats, chemical and [[biological warfare]], biometrics, electronic transactions, traffic congestion, [[patient safety]], [[environmental sustainability]], and renewed energy resources. Mitretek sponsored research projects included: analyzing and implementing technologies to keep information secure on the Internet, communicating voice and data by using Internet Protocol in the event of a national emergency, developing gaming technologies for first responders, and creating sick city scenarios to understand what could occur during a naturally occurring, or terrorist-instigated biological threat.
Mitretek Systems changed its name to Noblis in 2007.
In 2012, Noblis acquired Noblis ESI. The company previously operated under the name ElanTech Systems, Inc.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Doran|first=Jennie|date=August 16, 2021|title=Noblis ESI|url=https://noblis-esi.com/history/|website=Noblis ESI}}</ref>
